Admitted a Mistake. Take-Two Realized That the Borderlands Film Adaptation Was a Failure

The company’s CEO himself mentioned this in a recent financial report.

At a presentation for investors, Take-Two Interactive published a report for the second quarter of 2025. In addition to the success of its main franchise, GTA, the document also mentions the recent film adaptation of Borderlands. The film was unsuccessful both financially and artistically. This was also stated by the company’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick.

According to Zelnick, the film was weak, but at the same time, its release had a positive effect on the sales of the franchise’s games. Gearbox Software is currently developing Borderlands 4. The film itself was released in August and failed at the box office.
